Luo Yang's tone was very flat, without the slightest hint of making things difficult for anyone, as if what he was doing was just an ordinary matter.
“Three elder brothers, you should still hand over the Snowmelt Flower and the energy crystal.”
The girl’s voice was sweet, and although her down jacket covered her good figure, her exposed brows and eyes still revealed her pure and refined beauty.
She lightly parted her red lips and continued, “You should have realized by now that we are teachers and students from Bei Yi Vocational High School, and this is our teacher.”
Compared to the arrogant youth’s insolence, the girl’s voice was soft, her tone gentle, and she seemed like a good person.
“Our Bei Yi Vocational High School is well-known, and we are never short of good things. To tell you something you might not like to hear, someone of our teacher’s status, what rare materials or high-level tools haven’t they seen?
So, whether it’s the Snowmelt Flower or an A-grade energy crystal, they are actually dispensable to our teacher.
But treasure hunting in the wilderness has always been about the capable acquiring it. We can’t let the teacher defer to you just because you are weak, can we?
So, there’s really no need for you to make excuses to put us off. For your own good, hand over what needs to be handed over.
The teacher definitely won’t make things difficult for you.”
The girl’s voice was gentle, as if she were truly considering the three of them—Xia Dasheng and his companions.
But the glances she occasionally cast towards Luo Yang were filled with anticipation and excitement, like a cat waiting for its owner to feed it dried fish.
“What Lianxi said is right, if you know what’s good for you, quickly hand over the things and leave!”
Chang Yunlin held his chin high, his attitude becoming increasingly overbearing. Among the three, only Feng Yuqiao remained silent.
“Heh heh! What a Bei Yi Vocational High School! I’m truly, truly enlightened.
Are all the good things at your Bei Yi Vocational High School obtained by shameless plundering and forceful taking?”
Liu Yancheng was already quite angry, and after listening to the girl’s ‘persuasion,’ he became even angrier, wishing he could burst into curses.
He had always regretted not being able to get into Bei Yi Vocational High School, but now he only felt that not getting in was the greatest fortune of his life.
What first high school!
First garbage scoundrel asylum is more like it!
From now on, whoever tells him how good Bei Yi Vocational High School is, he will blacklist that person for life!
The outgoing Xia Dasheng hadn’t spoken for a long time.
His expression was also ugly, and he was struggling with whether or not to hand over the energy crystal.
That A-grade energy crystal was indeed very important to him, but he didn't want to implicate his friends and Pet Beasts even more.
If they continued to drag this out, they might not be in trouble, but their Pet Beasts might be killed.
That teacher surnamed Luo clearly looked like a ruthless person, and would definitely order his Pet Beast to kill other people’s Pet Beasts.
“A-Cheng, Yingzi, why don’t we just give them the energy crystal, I...”
Watching his and his friends’ Pet Beasts become increasingly battered, he gritted his teeth, determined to hand over that energy crystal to quell the incident.
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted in unison by Zhou Ying and Liu Yancheng.
“No!”
“That’s an heirloom left to you by Grandpa Xia, why should we give it to them? Because they’re thick-skinned or because they’re arrogant?”
They weren’t unaware of Xia Dasheng’s thoughts; he probably thought that it was better to avoid trouble, and their safety and that of their Pet Beasts were more important than an energy crystal.
But they couldn’t bring themselves to let their brother bear the loss with a clear conscience. Xia Dasheng brought the energy crystal with them to the Icefield Sea precisely because they invited him.
“But—”
“No ‘buts’! Unless I die here today, I will absolutely not agree to you handing over the energy crystal.”
No sooner had Liu Yancheng’s fierce and resolute words fallen than a stream of water, as thick as a washbasin, shot straight towards his chest.
The water column blasted him several meters away, slamming him heavily into a snowdrift.
Water stream sprayed.
It was that Water-Storing Tapir.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying and Xia Dasheng were greatly alarmed.
“A-Cheng!” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The two of them, disregarding the continued command of their Pet Beasts in battle, rushed towards Liu Yancheng, who lay in the snowdrift, his life unknown.
Fortunately, the injury was not severe.
But it did break two ribs.
A low-level skill like Water Stream Spray might not have much destructive power for Transcendent creatures, but for humans with not very high physical fitness, it was enough to cause serious injury.
“Sorry, accidental injury.”
Luo Yang explained indifferently.
The Interstellar Alliance Law clearly stipulates that if unavoidable disputes occur privately between Beast Tamers, they can engage in hand-to-hand combat or Pet Beast battles, but they are absolutely not allowed to command Pet Beasts to attack Beast Tamers.
The definition of the crime is completely different, and the severity is also different.
If the latter is proven, the Beast Tamer could be sentenced to death.
Even when Wei Yangang kidnapped Mingxi, they did not order their Pet Beasts to use offensive skills on her.
But just now, that Water-Storing Tapir attacked Liu Yancheng.
What accidental injury?
If a General-level Pet Beast doesn’t even have that much accuracy, it might as well hang itself.
Clearly, Luo Yang was absolutely deliberate!
This person is indeed ruthless.
The Pet Beast identifier did not deceive me.
“Forget Worry!”
“Chuchu!”
As Xia Dasheng and the other two gritted their teeth, Forget Worry, who was cooperating with Chikra to besiege the Tandi Dragon, and the Water-Storing Tapir, who was entangled with the Flame Howl, suddenly cried out together.
Among them, Forget Worry’s voice was particularly shrill.
Everyone looked over in surprise and saw that a row of small wounds had been cut into the Water-Storing Tapir’s spiral tail.
Forget Worry’s situation was much more serious; her left wing had been severed at the root.
Forget Worry, with only her two right wings remaining, lost her balance and had fallen awkwardly into the snow.
It looked like she wouldn’t recover.
What’s going on?
How did Forget Worry suddenly suffer such a severe injury? Who injured her?
And the Water-Storing Tapir’s tail, who injured that?
Xia Dasheng and Liu Yancheng both looked at Zhou Ying. When the three of them acted together, Zhou Ying usually served as the overall commander, and their Pet Beasts would also cooperate.
Did Zhou Ying suddenly come up with a surprise move and start asserting himself?
Zhou Ying: “...”
Don’t look at him, he’s ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ also confused.
It was Luo Yang, as their opponent, who first noticed the anomaly. His icy eyes suddenly looked towards a large snowdrift behind and to their side.
“Who’s there? Get out!”
Before his voice fell, with a “whoosh,” a lightning-fast figure shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bowstring.
Its speed was extremely fast, as if in a mere blink, the figure had already flown very high.
However, the next second, that figure plunged down at an astonishing speed, its golden, sun-like feathers shining brightly even in the darkness.
It descended from the sky like a meteor burning with golden flames, trailing a long tail of fire, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
Golden meteor, making a grand entrance.
A strange unease rose in Luo Yang’s heart, and he urgently shouted, “Qi Qi, Diamond Protection.”
Diamond Protection was the strongest defensive skill among those mastered by Chikra, capable of resisting all offensive skills below the Earth-level for at least three seconds.
“Boom!”
